On January 7th while visiting the Jefferson Memorial, I spoke to someone who stated that the cops were instructed to attack Trump supporters but to leave the blm and antifa people alone. The cop refused to do it and apparently this cop was not disciplined for it.

There are two Americas and two sets of rules. If you're an American, you have to #CowerSafelyAtHome and #WearaMask. But if you're a leftist going to Black Lives Matter riots, no rules apply. If you're an American and travel to D.C., you must self-quarantine. But if you're attending a Black Lives Matter rally, you're good. Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bower has unveiled a list of 27 states deemed “high-risk areas” -- meaning those traveling from them must self-quarantine for 14 days if arriving in the nation's capital. As part of the District's effort to contain the coronavirus pandemic, the quarantine...

A review launched by Attorney General William Barr into the origins of the Russia investigation has expanded significantly amid concerns about whether the probe has any legal or factual basis, multiple current and former officials told NBC News. The prosecutor conducting the review, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, has expressed his intent to interview a number of current and former intelligence officials involved in examining Russia’s effort to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, including former CIA Director John Brennan and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, Brennan told NBC News.

A Democratic mayor from Pennsylvania has resigned nearly a month after he was arrested for allegedly soliciting a woman for sex — a woman who turned out to be a police informant. Bloomsburg Mayor Eric Bower, 36, initially claimed the accusations were made up because of his “political position.” He was arrested on April 20 after investigators said he showed up at a Hampton Inn with condoms and $200 in cash. According to the attorney general’s office, the woman, whom Bower solicited for sex that day, was “a Pennsylvania State Police confidential informant.”

A top FBI official whose wife received political donations from an ally of Hillary Clinton’s last year does not need to recuse himself from the ongoing Trump-Russia investigation, the bureau said Wednesday. The Senate Judiciary Committee inquired last month about FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s role on the Trump probe, which is looking into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley had expressed concerns about a potential conflict of interest given that McCabe’s wife ran a state campaign in Virginia that received $700,000 from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a close friend of Clinton’s. [...

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Republican state Sen. Greg Brower is formally resigning his northern Nevada seat after announcing months ago that he wouldn't seek re-election.

A great and genuine American hero The audacious US Army air attack upon the Japanese home islands in April of 1942 that came to be known as the Doolittle Raid was the very first American offensive inflicted upon the Japanese motherland in WWII. As intended, it came as a hideous shock to both the military regime and Japanese people... In the event, actual military and economic damage was unsubstantial- but by exposing 'invincible' Japan as vulnerable, the heroic bombing run brought us a much-needed morale boost... Americans got their first taste of vengeance in the wake of the sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor just the previous year....

Col. William Marsh "Bill" Bower, the last surviving pilot of "Doolittle's Raiders" who bombed Japan in 1942, died Monday at his home in south Boulder. He was 93 and "lived a completely full life," said his son Jim Bower. "My dad was a hell of a guy," he said. "He was a brave soul, a warrior. He was everybody's friend. He did all kinds of volunteer work. He was an exceptional human being." Bill Bower was hailed as a hero for his role in the United States' first air attack on Japan following the bombing of Pearl Harbor on Dec....

Miami Beach Mayor Matti Herrera Bower -- the city's first Cuban-American mayor -- has been called out by Miami Republican State Rep. Juan Zapata for a comment she made at a city commission meeting last month referring to Colombians as drug dealers. Zapata, a Colombian-American who chairs the Miami-Dade legislative delegation, called for Bower's resignation Wednesday. ''Those kind of comments just perpetuate those stereotypes. You don't know the experience Colombians go through, even when they walk through the airport,'' said Zapata. After having what he described as a ''heartfelt'' conversation with Bower later in the day, Zapata backed down. ''I...

He did great! Anyone else see him? Some of us may wonder if the PUMAs are too good to be true, but he was out there last night representing and staying true to what we see them all say on the various PUMA sites. Thank you, PUMAs!
